translated from Spanish: Luis Fonsi: “I will continue singing my romantic ballads Cortavenas, that I will never leave”

Although it became known 20 years ago with romantic ballads as “Imagine Without You”, Luis Fonsi today is also synonymous with reggaeton and danceable pop. “Slowly” was the bridge between the Puerto Rican and the urban genre, which he embraced and which is an important part of “Vida”, his most recent studio album that comes to present in November to Chile. Since the eternal summer of Miami, Fonsi took a few minutes to respond to the Call of Hoyxhoy and advance the Tour “Vida World Tour”, that will begin on June 22 in Spain and bring it to Chile to give a concert on November 8 at the Movistar Arena. Romance and reguetónAunque The goal of the tour is to present “Vida”-album that includes the Colabor ation with Daddy Yankee who put it on the world map and hit with Demi Lovato, “Blame Me”-the Puerto Rican said that the show that will bring “is a journey through all my repertoire.” The album ‘ Vida ‘ is very present, but I will not forget those songs that have been important over the course of these 20 years, ‘ he commented. “I like to make medleys, make mixes, do covers, do different things, surprise people. There are very intimate moments, lots of dancing, others very informal in which I ask the public what they want to hear. So we’re putting together a very dynamic show, quite different from what I’ve done in the past, “he added. Although “Vida” just came out in February, Fonsi has not stopped composing and recording and, from that constant work, came out “turn around”, single that launched last April and made with Nicky Jam and Sebastián Yatra. Once more pointing to the dance floors. ” Life “has several danceable songs and” Turn Around “also goes in that line does the urban genre fit you? I’m always going to navigate those two worlds, in the rhythmic and the romantic world. I don’t feel limited to do one thing. So yes, I’m going to keep doing that mix, those pop-urban Latin fusions and I’m going to keep singing my romantic ballads Cortavenas, that I’m never going to give up. ” Life “was number 6 in Switzerland How is it for you to take Spanish so far? I am very proud to be able to bring our Latin music, our language, our culture, where Spanish is not spoken. It’s something I’ve really enjoyed. I have known magnificent places and see how they connect, without necessarily understanding what one is saying, it shows the power of music. Somehow “slowly” contributed to that marked a before and after? Absolutely. I think there was a before and after on a personal level and that the song contributed a lot to where Latin music has come from. It was part of a major movement two years ago that opened a wide door for Latin music to be heard globally. Coach FonsiDesde 2012 Luis Fonsi has been linked to “The Voice” in its versions of Ecuador, Colombia, United States, Spain and Chile, where he was part of the program produced by Channel 13. In the first cycle was the coach of Camila Gallardo, who took the second place and who composed and produced his first single as soloist, “more than half.” Do you like the role of coach in the Voice? Yes, of course. I am a fan of the format, I believe in it, I find it very positive. It’s good for the participants, it’s good for the coaches, but it’s better for the music industry, because at the end of the day we’re celebrating music every night, singing songs that are important to us, in English, in Spanish. And yes, it is a challenge to combine both things that take a long time. What memories do you have of your way through Chile? Chile came into my heart and it’s never going to get out of there. I always hope to have a space inside people’s hearts. There are few places with which I have the connection I have with Chile, for many reasons, friendships and simply because of the time I was and the affection that has always given me people. I have many friends and a lot of excitement to return. Every time you talk about Chile, a concert, you create a different emotion in me and throughout my working group. So there we will be at the Movistar Arena celebrating all these years of music, giving a show that I hope is very important; I know it’s going to be. Have you followed the career of Cami Gallardo? A lot, Camila is my friend, I worked with her in her first single that became a success. “More than half” is an issue that I wrote, which I produced and after that we have been in a lot of contact and we see a lot, in fact I saw two weeks ago in Mexico, we saw in Spain too. Camila is a star, I said it when I was part of “The Voice” and I am glad that it is succeeding at the international level; He is doing it on the basis of a lot of work and good songs and his undeniable talent. I am glad, I am proud, because I was a small, very tiny part of that, especially at the beginning and every time I read a positive news, because it fills me with much pride and joy.
